Vegetarianism has become a choice of lifestyle in today’s time. Not just for religious reasons, but for ethical and environmental reasons as well.
A pure vegetarian restaurant is a place where there are no meats, or egg items, and even the vegetarian food cooked is sans onion, and garlic.
ISKCON Temple’s Govinda’s Restaurant is one such place serving pure vegetarian cuisine, most hygienically prepared, and served with all purity.
The food is not only pure vegetarian here, but even offered to Lord Krishna before serving to the public. Thus it becomes very sumptuous and relishable.
These dishes are more than just food and are completely healthy for body, mind as well as the soul. You might wonder what the problem is with onion, and garlic.
The answer is that according to Ayurveda, onion and garlic falls under rajasic and tamasic foods.
This means that they increase passion and ignorance, and hence are not offered to the Lord. The only kind of food that a restaurant such as Govinda’s is allowed to serve is known as sattvic.
Why Pure Vegetarian Food?
There is a lot of debate over food and lifestyle in the present day and time. But the emergence of pure vegetarian restaurants will tell you that vegetarian food is important today and veganism is also something that is becoming relevant in society.
Spirituality can only be evoked through a sattvic lifestyle. Vegetarian food is part of the sattvic lifestyle. Being a devotee of Lord Krishna, it is imperative that one has compassion for all creatures.
Every life in this universe is very important, and consuming animals is in direct conflict with this.


At Govinda’s it is more than just eating, it is practicing Bhakti Yoga, and taking a step towards a better life. Govinda’s is definitely one of the best pure vegetarian restaurants, and that is not just because of its sumptuous cuisine.
It is a place that is touched by the grace of Lord Krishna, and eating here is being closer to God. The Lord Krishna resides inside all living beings, and it is our duty to love and be kind towards all.
Vegetarian is also a great lifestyle choice to remain healthy. Vegetarian food can keep your cholesterol in check, give you better glowing skin, and so on.
There are other protein rich diet like soyabean, pulses etc that are cooked and served as a substitute.
